Sea shanties (or chanteys) were folk songs sung acapella by sailors to set a rhythm for specific tasks on a ship performed in unison. Though shanties were very practical, most are very beautiful melodies as well. Chosen for their lyricism, these two expressive songs are arranged for string orchestra with flowing phrases and interwoven harmonies that express a love for the sea.
